And, like all great digital media markets, this one just makes good intuitive sense. Digital media consumers worldwide have a great appetite for digital content and they have a desire to move that content around the home. We believe that, necessitated by the continuing adoption of the digital video recorder (DVR) and other content storage technologies, accelerated by the rapid ramp of digital and high-definition television technologies, and enabled by the deep pockets of the telcos and cable operators, this market is poised for significant growth over the next several years and represents one of the largest-volume semiconductor opportunities in the digital media component space to date. The digital media networked The digital multimedia home network opportunity has been necessitated by the increasing ability of home—a function of recording... the consumer to record (or download) and display video content.

In particular, in Asia and Europe there are now several examples where public funds have contributed to next-generation broadband deployment. There are differences of views about the merits of such intervention. Some people point to these projects as pioneering examples of the positive role that the public sector can and should play in facilitating the accelerated roll-out of next-generation broadband for the benefit of local citizens and the economy. Others argue that these projects have risked pre-empting commercial deployment, created market distortions and may ultimately prove an extravagant misuse of taxpayers’ money.

  • BRANDED ENTERTAINMENT Distributed Storytelling in a Digital World
    BRANDED ENTERTAINMENT Distributed Storytelling in a Digital World By Troy Hitch and Doug Worple Overview Digital and interactive media have created a new breed of media consumers. They have an incredibly short attention span, high standards and strong opinions. They are immune to traditional advertising tactics and they don’t want their content to be interrupted. They no longer think in terms of TV or movies or channels or formats. They want to be entertained on their terms – where, when and how it suits them best. They want to engage in something that they can talk about. They want to share something that, in the very act of sharing, defines who they are. They want to discuss it, change it, mark it, make it their own. They are no longer viewers; they are participants. Entertainment is no longer a broadcast; it’s an experience. Since the early days of sponsored radio and TV programs, the Brand has successfully exploited entertainment to deliver its consumer message. But leveraging entertainment to connect with today’s media consumer has required the Brand to assume a new role. Seeking a deeper connection with its audience, the Brand has become the storyteller, the studio, the producer, and, as referenced in our previous paper “Marketer v Media,” even the distributor or publisher. The result is an entertainment experience that can engage the Brand’s consumers in ways more relevant and meaningful than ever before. This whitepaper will examine the new face of branded entertainment, the importance of great storytelling, the roles the Brand can play in the entertainment experience and best practices for using new media to distribute the story.
